Boyfriend of aristocrat's daughter admits he was ‘too high’ to save her

The boyfriend of the youngest daughter of the Marquess of Queensberry, who died tragically after a two-day drug and alcohol binge, had told an inquest he should have done more to save her, but he was too high at the time.

Lady Beth Douglas, a talented violinist, was found unresponsive on a couch in March, after a house party in London.

Her boyfriend Jenan Karagoli, 21, told the Mail on Sunday he tried to save his 18-year-old girlfriend but was ‘too high.’

Karagoli told the newspaper his 10-month relationship with the violinist revolved around drugs. An inquest was told Lady Douglas and her boyfriend had spent at least two days drinking and taking drugs while staying in hotels before the party.

Karagoli said he briefly left the party to buy a bottle of red wine, and upon his return she was asleep on the couch, so he lay beside her but when he woke she was unresponsive.

“The man in the flat said she had taken heroin. I just picked up her arms and saw a little peck of dots."

Mr Karagoli told the Mail on Sunday at the funeral he was confronted by her father, Lord Queensberry.

“He told me that I could have looked after her better. There was a heavy sense of I could have done something," he added.

"I fully believe I could have done more, but unfortunately at the time I was too gone.”

Lady Douglas had a history of drug abuse and self-harm and was being treated for a range of mental health problems, but her father told the coroner he believed the night she died was the first time she had taken intravenous heroin.

"No one takes their first intravenous injection of heroin without assistance. Someone helped her and nobody seems interested as to who that is," he said.

A toxicology report found heroin, cocaine and morphine in Lady Douglas' blood.

The well-known family has been haunted by tragedy over the years.

Lord Queensberry’s third son, Lord Milo Douglas, died by suicide died in 2009 aged just 34. The half-sister of his eldest son married the older brother of Osama Bin Laden, who died in a plane crash when she was pregnant with his first child.

Lord Queensberry has eight children. Lady Douglas was the only daughter of his third wife, Taiwanese artist Hsueh-Chun Liao.
